Persepolis Persian Restaurant

I ordered takeout from Persepolis and had the Koobide Kebab with the Nargesi appetizer.
The food was very well packaged and beautifully presented for takeout. The Nargesi appetizer was amazing—rich, flavorful, and perfect with warm pita bread.
For the main dish, the Koobide Kebab was excellent. The rice, meat, and salad were all delicious and well balanced. The meal felt light enough that you don’t feel weighed down, yet the portions were generous enough to leave you full and satisfied.
Easily one of my favorite restaurants in St. John’s, NL. A must-try!

Very authentic Persian experience. Food was savoury with strong Iranian flavours. The rice was exceptional. The rose water was divine. And the lamb meatballs with walnut/molasses sauce was extraordinary.

I happend to be in St. John's for business and I dropped by at Persepolis. I had chicken kabob and it was great. Portion size was enough and reasonably priced for the Iseland. Service and atmosphere were also welcoming. I'll go back.

I saw this restaurant when I was in St. John’s recently for a conference. I had never had Persian cuisine before so it piqued my curiousity.

My friend and I ended up going in and the waitress kindly gave us some recommendations. The food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend the lamb kebab.
